The most heartbreaking truth in the crypto world is often not slow losses, but a sudden crash to zero after soaring high.

Turning a few thousand into hundreds of thousands is not rare. What’s rare is—actually being able to withdraw the money.

Most people fall into the same trap: not knowing when to take profits during paper gains, losing everything after a correction, impulsively placing orders again, and having their accounts wiped out. It seems like a market problem, but in reality, it’s just rolling positions into a death trap.

Those traders who survive longer in this market have only three strategies for rolling positions:

**First Trick: Protect the Principal First, Then Talk About Profits**
Immediately withdraw the principal after the first profit. Use the earnings for subsequent trades, and the difference in mindset is obvious. Even if everything is lost later, at least the principal remains.

**Second Trick: The More You Earn, The More Aggressive Your Defense**
When floating profits reach a certain point, move your stop-loss up to prevent profits from slipping back to the start. Don’t chase every last penny of the trend, but ensure you protect the gains you’ve already made.

**Third Trick: Only Trade Trends, Rest During Other Times**
Don’t gamble on oscillations or chase high trading frequency. When the direction isn’t clear, stay out of the market and wait. Opportunities are always present, but your principal is only one.

The crypto world is never short of opportunities for explosive growth. What’s truly scarce are those who know when to take profits, wait patiently, and know when to stop. Those who can pause have the confidence to talk about long-term success. Otherwise, no matter how high you fly, the fall will be even more brutal.
